Medan: snippet

As they say in Northern Sumatra, 'horas!' which roughly translates in to 'greetings.'

Yes, I am in the capital of North Sumatra and the third (or fourth, depends who you ask) largest city in Indonesia. Day one started off chaotic, not helped when a self titled five star hotel does not have a decent city map for my uses, but somehow I managed with minimal hitches. More on that later.

Still taking it easy, exploring the city and will need to buy a proper map later, but for now, let the anticipation for rail travel from Medan to Lake Toba sink in. A lazy afternoon after a chaotic day at KL international airport and pandemonium while orientating oneself in a new city.

Greetings from my terrace room by the pool at the Aryaduta hotel.
